Feeling Overwhelmed by Your Business?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by something you need to do for your business?

Several entrepreneurs I talked to yesterday said they feel unfocused and don’t seem to have enough time in the day to do everything they need to do.

Are you trying to create a website?
Do you need to write a business plan?
Are you trying to get a loan for your business?

If you find yourself face to face with a big, new project and aren’t sure where to start, try to find one small part of it you can easily focus on today.

“When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.”
– Isak Dinesen

By the way, here’s a little something about the woman quoted above. Isak Dinesen was the pen name of Karen Blixen, the Danish author famously portrayed by Meryl Streep in the film of her best-selling memoir, Out of Africa. She was born near Copenhagen in 1885. In 1914, she and her new husband moved to Kenya to run a coffee plantation. She stayed on after divorcing her husband ten years later, living an unusually independent life. Her book of stories, Seven Gothic Tales, sold well, but Out of Africa made her a worldwide success. She died in 1962.
